What is your thesis statement?
I have a handful of 1990 Escudo coins left. Next Wednesday they meet their doom in your honor. Good luck!Quote:

I specialize in microbiology, in particular QC in winemaking. In this case, I investigated the efficacy of UVc radiation in the control of lactic acid bacteria in white wine production.Quote:

Just got home! Gotta love a 13 hour day. Defense went very well, no doubt in part due to the VaPer awesomeness. Took two hours of grilling though. Presented and took questions from General faculty and grad student body for the first hour, then behind closed doors with my commitee of three PhDs for the second hour as they tore apart every decision I've made in research for the last two years. Ended out getting off easy - just a few more hours in the lab and then three or four more weeks of writing, submission for publication, and I'm done!Quote:

End result: Maximum threshold for similarity check on dissertation/thesis online is 15%. My thesis is WAY under the max at 3%, not surprisingly since there is only one other researcher who has done the same work - and he is in Spain.
Three signatures and I get to add letters at the end of my name.
All this for a master's thesis? I've done two master theses and the most grilling I've gotten is having to clean up some of the math and grammar. Sounds more like a PhD dissertation! Anyway, congratulations!Quote:
